Get StartedI don't think it is sensationalism. It is big news on a ground breaking event. While I agree that it is not a big deal to me. It is a big deal and historic.
What happens when he's doing this next time?
This guy is pretty much a life long pine rider, isn't he?
No pun intended - but it is a pretty good one.
The problem with "the media" is that this sort of "announcement" is only being made so big because of the way the media deals with everything.
And Chris Brooooousard is the real faggot. Any douche bag who corrects people and changes the pronounciation of his last name after years of self-promotion is certainly sucking cock when not sucking off LeBron on an ESPN set.
I wish that ESPN had the sand to allow its people to express themselves and let the chips fall. For a network that considers itself the vanguard of sports coverage that has an alleged "edge" it sure gets nervous when one of its on-air people says something considered controversial. It could own that concept if it wanted to, but it chooses to be a pretender. The Rob Parker firing was an example of ESPN towing the line. Firing a black man for calling out another black man: how PC can you get? And anyone who "comes out" opposing Collins's sexual preference is branded as "bigoted" and "intolerant." Even those who choose not to comment are suspect. The opinion du jour is that everyone must accept homosexuality as a valid sexual preference -- as valid as heterosexuality. I don't agree. I also do not judge; I have my own soul to fix.

While I don't agree with your view, I certainly think you have every right to have that view. But as far as Brussard goes, he has brought religion into the sports arena. I don't think the two need to be combine. This goes for sexuality as well. I don't need to know someone's religious view or sexual preference.

Broussard's view, then, gives me one immediate and certain follow-up/gotcha question:
"So if the legal recognition of marriage were extended to same sex partners, the objection to sinning would only relate to "copulation out of wedlock" applicable to both same sex couples and "traditional" couples?"
